The inspector was very professional and helpful. The video inspection was really nice, he explained what he found and gave suggestions. My only problem was that the price was for an inspection and a sweep. Watching the video our chimney did not need to me swept but because he had a brush on top of the camera he told me that he swept it.

Excellent experience! Home Care is a very professional business and our concerns were handled courteously and promptly. An appointment for a thorough inspection of the exterior and interior of the chimney was arranged shortly after our first call. The compromised part of the chimney was protected with a tarpaulin which was attached so securely that it remained in place during this winter's high winds. Mr. Atchley met with us to discuss the problems. He presented options, listened to our preferences, and made additional recommendations. We received a detailed estimate shortly afterwards. The work was started on schedule and the work crew arrived on time each day, so we never had to wait for their arrival. The crew cleaned up each day, respecting our home and property through the removal of our old chimney and fireplace and installation of the new materials. We were kept informed during the process so we were always aware of the progress of the work and what would be done the next day. Our rebuilt chimney is of superior craftsmanship to the original. The new gas fireplace and tile surround looks amazing and is the focal point of our living room. Our house is warmer and quieter as a result of this project. We highly recommend the professionals at Home Care Chimney for maintenance, repair, and renovation of fireplaces and chimneys.

Good job, clean and neat. Price seemed ok, quoted me a price to add a Stainless Steel sleeve from the smoke box up. This seemed a bit high but I have nothing to compare it too!

They cleaned the glass and logs off, and cleaned the outside vent but did not ascertain the cause for the unit quickly sooting up. Therefore, they did not resolve the problem at all. In hindsight, it looks like very little of their service is with gas fireplaces.
Description of Work: My gas fireplace was "sooting up", the glass on either side turned completely black very quickly after cleaning ; I wanted them to ascertain the cause of the problem.

Response from HOME CARE CHIMNEY INC
Her units venting does not meet the proper clearance per the manufacturer, hers is blocking the flow at the bottom of the vent pipe. The pictures of how the unit was venting was sent over to Heatilator (the manufacture of the unit) to confirm what we had thought. They agreed that it doesn't meet the clearance required. The home owner was informed of the what we thought was going on and she didn't want to accept it . So we really can't help her. According to the manufacture the unit may work for a while under those conditions but problems with the unit will start happening at some point .

They were fantastic. His quote wasn't the lowest, but I am glad I hired him. Him and his associates were not a wasted effort. They knew exactly what to do, how to do it, and did a fantastic job. They would get a top grade. The price was less than some crazy people, so I would say it was a good price. They were good, professional people. They called back. They visited the home and took pictures first. They send them via email. They were real nice and efficient. Their punctuality was excellent. They were there when they said they were going to be there to start the job. They said they were going to be there at 8-8:30, and they were. I would absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: They did the fireplace chimney and the furnace chimney.

Perfect! The company sent a rep the same day I called and asked for an estimate. The rep was very thorough and explained the problem and options. I was provided an estimate by email within a couple of hours of the visit. I agreed to the price, the replacement cap was custom made, and the installation was done on time. The best part, the company rep, Tim, is top notch and very professional. I really felt that the company is honest and cares about the customer. 5 stars!!!

Response from HOME CARE CHIMNEY INC
[Member Name Removed], I spoke with Vickie and she does remember a conversation with you about your home. From what we understand, you have a very tall home with a steep pitched roof. It was most likely explained to you that the time of year (mid-December) the weather plays a factor in accessing your type of home. Additionally, during this time of year, our office sometimes handles 50-100 calls per day, which can be a bit overwhelming. I will have a tech drive by your home today to see what type of access will be required. On another note, I checked all of the phone and message logs and could not find a record of any additional phone calls. I do apologize for any lack of communication on our part. Bud A.

Appreciated their honesty by not trying to sell me on anything that didn't need to be done.. My son-in-law had already looked at the problems and told me what I should expect would have to be done. Owner came to quote job, took picture & showed me what the problems were. Mike & Tim arrived on time and did a great job. After job was completed, before I paid them, they again took pictures and showed me what they had done. Area was left clean. In the past, when I've had other types of work quoted, people have tried to sell me on things that didn't need repair, so I appreciated not being taken advantage of. Would recommend them.

Very professional and clean. First inspection since the house was built, about 25 years ago. A camera found a problem with a gap at the lintel and we noticed pieces of a clay flue on the ground every spring. The lintel issue was from the builder and the clay flue was a cosmetic fake which commonly freezes and thaws,thus causing the issue. Both problems are scheduled to be fixed but have not been done.

The job went extremely well. Because it was a large and fairly complex job, the owner came out to look it over himself before completing the quote. He was extremely professional. He explained a number of options clearly. I understood the quote and the work to be done (which was not the case with another company that bid on the job). I told all the bidders that I was more interested in having the job done right than in saving the last nickel. The price was reasonable (that is, one other was noticeably higher). The team was at our home exactly when they said they would be. They did the work efficiently over four days, and kept the work area very clean over that time. Some of our neighbors, who are home during the day, commented on how professional and hard working the team was. Communication during the job was exactly what I want (and I'm demanding on this). The work looks terrific. There were no surprises on pricing. I asked them to come back to look at one thing, and they were back right away. In short, this is one of the best contractor experiences I've had, and I've had a lot of them. They were even nice to our dog.
Description of Work: We needed repairs on the outside of three chimneys, which were deteriorating, and the inside of two, which were not safe to use. It was a big job.

The workers showed on time and got right to work. Very hard workers that took care to limit any damage to the lawn and shrubs. As usual once the job was under way more problems were found that added to the bill. We were warned before the job began that repairs could cost more than the original estimate. It was not unreasonable considering the amount of work needed. Upon finishing the work area was left clean and neat. I would highly recommend this company and would have no problem using them again for chimney cleaning and maintenance.

Excellent job on the chimney sweep. Unbelievable how well it turned out. Detailed inspection result. Turns out it was a fire hazard as the mortar had eroded away. Will be using them to inspect the chimney for the hot water tank next. Bud is very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful.
